You can use the live FPV screen to fly to the appropriate altitude, frame your shot, and DronePan takes care of the rest. DronePan will take photos at the necessary yaw and pitch with your aircraft. The process takes less than 3 minutes to complete and you can then fly to another location to begin another panorama. Keep your DJI drone within line of sight when using DronePan. Update your aircraft to the latest firmware before using DronePan.
